Man arrested for trying to break into Yishun flat

A 29-year-old man who tried to break into a flat in Yishun in the wee hours of Thursday (Oct 26) morning has been arrested.

Facebook user Molly Molina had posted photos of the damaged window of her HDB flat in Block 124, Yishun Street 11, saying she was woken up at 5.20am by a loud "bang" and the sound of the window mesh grating against metal.

In the post that is no longer publicly available, Ms Molina said she went to check and saw a figure at her window, which is along the common corridor.

Thinking the man was trying to help get her cat back into the house, she said "hi", but he fled towards the staircase.

When Ms Molina went closer, she realised that two bars in the window grilles had been broken.
